I have read multiple interpretations regarding this verse. I found that scholars have mentioned different sayings about the latter portion of the ayah "أنا له لحفظون" about who does the pronoun له refer to in the verse. Some say this refers to Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. I just wanted to know that is there any principle due to which the widely one is accepted is it refers to الذكر itself and if it's agreed upon. Please guide me I'm trying to clear my doubt regarding this for a quite long. Since there's an akhbari scholars saying that there is differences in interpretation of this ayah and therefore cannot be used as evidence for divine preservation. He also quotes Sunni tafsirs to support his claim. His arguments are causing doubts in my mind.

in Quran 21:33 and Quran 36:40 the verses mention the day and the night and the sun and the moon in an orbit swimming. What is meant by the sun not being able to overtake the moon? Does that mean the sun cant rise at night, or does it mean the sun cant collide with the moon? And I already know the sun has its own orbit, but in these verses the way the day and night and sun and moons orbits are mentioned seems relative to each other and it wouldnt make sense that the suns orbit around the galaxy affects the day and night Could the orbitting of the sun and moon mean from our perspectives? Like how we see the sun rise and set and the same with the moon? Or would this interpretation not work with the word "falak". Also what is meant by the orbitting of the day and night? It seems to mean from our perspective so would the same apply for the sun and moon? I'm really struggling to understand this and would really appreciate an explanation because this causes me a lot of doubts

The Quran says > O YOU who have attained to faith! Just retribution is ordained for you > in cases of killing: the free for the free, and the slave for the > slave, and the woman for the woman (Baqarah 178) Does it mean that if a slave is killed, another slave (irrespective of the murderer) is to be killed, and if a woman is killed, then another woman has to be killed in compensation. This is not applied in any Islamic country, so I am sure that I am misreading it. Kindly explain.

There's a range of translations of Quran 54:17 ; here are some examples: > And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? -- M. M. Pickthall > We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? -- Wahiduddin Khan > And indeed, We have made the Qur'an easy for direction and guidance, but is there anyone who will take advice? -- Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri > We have really made this Qur'an easy (to understand)! Is anyone there to heed? -- Dr. Munir Munshey It seems there's two major interpretations of this ayat: - The Qur'an is easy to understand. This could be in order to help everyone, despite their level of education. I've also seen it argued that the repetitive nature of the Qur'an is evidence to support this interpretation. > The Qur'an's guidance for man’s conduct are plain and easy to understand and act upon... > ...Masha Allah, how easy Allah has made it for us to memorise the Qur’an and increase our rewards. -- Productive Muslim - Admonishion in the Qur'an is easy to understand. "Do good and get closer to paradise. Do bad and get closer to punishment". > Some people have misconstrued the words yassarnal- Quran to mean that the Quran is an easy Book; no knowledge is required to understand it so much so that a person even without the knowledge of the Arabic language, can write a commentary on it, and can deduce any injunctions he likes from its verses independent of the Hadith and Islamic Law, whereas the context in which these words occur, indicates that they are meant to make the people realize this: One means of the admonition are the dreadful torments that descended upon the rebellious nations, and the other means is this Quran, which guides you to the right path by argument and instruction. -- Islamic Studies It's unclear which is correct. (And I cannot exclude the possibility that both of these interpretations are simultaneously correct.) **Question**: Should Qur'an 54:17 be interpreted as meaning the Qur'an is intended to be simple to understand? Answering this is probably going to require familiarity with the Arabic: > وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ

I'm researching several verses from the Qur'an and as it is my first time to delve into the Islamic religion I am having difficulty with some of the translations and such. > 65: Divorce, verse 4, says, Pickthall, "And for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months, along with those who have it not. And for those with child, their period shall be till they bring forth their burden. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, He maketh his course easy for him." But then we see... > 65: Divorce, verse 4 says, Sahih International Translation, "And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth. And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him of his matter ease." I've had it presented to me that this verse encourages marrying underage girls but as far as I can tell it has nothing to do with underage women but rather women undergoing menopause? Or reaching the age where they no longer experience menses. Does this verse discuss an underage wife or simply a wife who is too old to menstruate?

Not to cause argument, i only want to clear any misunderstandings that i may have. According to Sunnis, Fadak was inheritance, in contrast to endowment. But Al Suyuti seems to take the latter view in his tafsir. Al Suyuti comments on surah 17 verse 26: “Abu Saeed al Khudri and Abdullah Ibn Abbas narrate that when the verse relating to giving rights to kindred was revealed, the Prophet called Fatima Zahra (as) and gifted the land of Fadak to her”. - [Tafseer Dur al-Manthur, Vol. 4, page 177](https://shiapen.com/wp-content/uploads/BlogMedia/tafseer_dur_almanthur_v4_p177-1642247339.jpg)

Asalamulaykum Warahmatulahi Wabarakatuh! In Surah Al-Mu'minun (https://quran.com/al-muminun) , the first 11 ayats or so speak about the characteristics of the believers and how they are to inherit the Firdaws. My question here is, what about the believers who have repented from doing evils mentioned here? what about kafirs who converted to Islam? Are they still eligible for such a reward? Jazakalakhair!

This hadith from tirmidhi says - > Abu Sa'eed narrated: "On the Day of Badr, the Romans had a victory > over the Persians. So the believers were pleased with that, then the > following was revealed: 'Alif Lam Mim. The Romans have been defeated, > up to His saying: 'the believers will rejoice - with the help of > Allah... (30:1-5)'" He said: "So the believers were happy with the > victory of the Romans over the Persians." From the wording, it sounds like it was revealed on the day Romans were victorious.

In Surah Al-Waqiah people are divided into three categories: *Quran 56:7-56:14:* >وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً > > And ye shall be sorted out into three classes: > > فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ > > Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? > > وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ > And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? > > > وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ > > And those **Foremost** (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). > > > أُولَٰئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ > > These will be those Nearest to Allah: > > > > فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ > > In Gardens of Bliss: > > > > ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ > > A number of people from those of old, > > > وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ > > And a few from those of **later times**. As far as I know, *later times* means after the Prophet was sent. So, who are these "foremost" and why they are few in later times?

There's a particular surah in my phone but am struggling to know the reciters of the surah because I collected the surah through xender from someone and I want to download the remaining surah. How can I do it?

وقال ابن أبي حاتم : حدثنا أحمد بن سنان ، حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش ، عن خيثمة قال : قال عبد الله يعني : ابن مسعود إن النطفة إذا وقعت في الرحم ، طارت في كل شعر وظفر ، فتمكث أربعين يوما ، ثم تتحدر في الرحم فتكون علقة . What is the authenticity of this hadith mentioned in Tafsir ibn Kathir in Sura 23 ayat 14 . Probably it is Against observation.Help me kindly

What does Allah mean when He says: > Have they not considered how Allāh begins creation and then repeats it? Indeed that, for Allāh, is easy. (29:19) I understand that He originated creation. But what is meant by, > "and then repeats it"? How have scholars interpreted this?

> Narrated Abu Huraira: The Verse:--"You (true Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind." means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam. (Sahih Al-Bukhati, Book 60, hadith 80 ) Could anyone provide me with the interpretation of this hadith. What does it mean by "chains on their necks"?

The Quran gives limited information about Haman. Is there any Hadith which presents more information about him? I cannot find any direct hadith from the Prophet pbuh but I think there would be some Mawquf hadiths available.

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers in Islam, Can you please help me understand as to why in Surah Baqarah the verse 149 is repeated again in 150? > So from wherever you go out [for prayer, O Muhammad] turn your face toward al- Masjid al-Haram, and indeed, it is the truth from your Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what you do. **[Surah Baqarah : 149]** and > And from wherever you go out [for prayer], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces toward it in order that the people will not have any argument against you, except for those of them who commit wrong; so fear them not but fear Me. And [it is] so I may complete My favor upon you and that you may be guided. > **[Surah Baqarah : 150]**

What is meant by the sky being built or a building? For example in these next two verses Quran 2:22 and Quran 40:64 the word بِنَآءًۭ is used which i think means building. Quran 40:64 > "It is Allāh who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a structure [i.e., ceiling] and formed you and perfected your forms and provided you with good things. That is Allāh, your Lord; then blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds." and Quran 2:22 > "[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allāh equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]." and in Quran 50:6 the word used is بَنَيْنَـٰهَا which means built i think > "Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?"

So this ayah in Holy Quran (4:140) states, "He has already revealed to you in the Book that when you hear Allah’s revelations being denied or ridiculed, then do not sit in that company unless they engage in a different topic, or else you will be like them.1 Surely Allah will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers all together in Hell." Does this ayah include every instance of kufr/shirk including fantasy ones like a movie where there is a fictional god or a book about greek mythology? Or is it refering to explicitely denying or mocking a particular verse of Holy Quran? Also the ones has done it, has he commited a major sin or a minor sin?

AOA, I've come to know that Ibn Abbas, a companion of Holy Prophet, wrote a Tafseer on Quran but unfortunately it got corrupted or fabricated by what many Islamic scholars call Israelites. However, many Tafseers regarded as extremely authentic like Ibn Kathir have quotes or reports taken from Ibn Abbas. So does it make certain Tafseers like these full or error too or were they filtered out properly?

Allah has said that He would destroy everything, so would He destroy the Kursi too and does that mean that Allah will destroy everything and He will be the only one who will remain in the end?

I want to know how the Arabic language explains this verse Surah Isra verse 1 "Glory be to the One Who took His servant ˹Muḥammad˺ by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque whose surroundings We have blessed, so that We may show him some of Our signs. Indeed, He alone is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing." Initially Allah swt refers to himself in the third person (glory be to the one who-) and then later refers to himself as We (the royal we in English) which switches to first person and then later addresses himself again in the third person saying "he is the all hearing" , Can anyone who speaks arabic explain this because in English it would be odd. The simplest conclusion would be to assume that in "we may show **him** -" and "indeed **he** is the all hearing" both are referring to same person , can someone explain why this is not the case
